Famous quotes containing the words flag and/or days:
“By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood
And fired the shot heard round the world.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.”
